It wouldn't be nice if this happened at high speed on a winding road.
On mine I pused the Locking Bolt/Rod in and pused that button that you have to drill out when the Key is stuck In (that holds the Bolt in place) and epoxied the Button down.
I now have no Steering Wheel lock.

I for some reason I want to restore it I need to scrape out the Epoxey so the Button functions normally.
